Ran a PT test today. It was freezing this morning, so I think my time is a bit slower because of being unaccustomed to the cold. I am also still very out of shape so that obviously adds to my slower time. I ended up running about a 14:10. I didn't have my watch so had to go off of someone else's time. I will be getting better!

A good run today. Ran with a buddy who ran the Soldier's Marathon here at Fort Benning on Saturday with a 3:25. He was a bit sore, but that was good for me who is VERY out of shape right now.

A nice run today. It is cold though. Started running at 4:00pm and it was probably in the high 30s, plus some wind. I was not prepared for it at all. I had my little shorts and a very thin T-shirt...bad idea!

After some headwind and two decent hills, I was ready for my car heater! 

I felt pretty good about my splits/times given the conditions.

Great run this afternoon. The cold front is supposed to stay for another week or so. It is going to be unusually cold for Georgia, but great for people who enjoy running outside! Today was a slow day (as are all my runs nowadays...) due in part to the many hills around our neighborhood and also my fitness level. I could probably drop a few pounds to make the running easier, but I don't think I can keep myself out of the gym lifting. I enjoy it too much. So for now, I am okay with things, but would like to be feel comfortable running at a 7:30 pace for 6+ miles.
